Using Authentication and Identity Management to Secure a Network: The Door is Still Open and the Horse is Almost out of the Barn An increased focus on authentication and identity management is a right step forward as most of the significant data breaches over the past few years have been due to compromised login credentials. But just confirming a user’s identify is only half the task. With the concept of Zero Trust gaining momentum, authentication and identification must be reinforced by the network itself through policy based access and segmentation. This session will look back at some of the data breaches that have been attributed to weak authentication methods and how they might have been prevented. At the same time, the concept of internal network segmentation will be presented to show how both halves of the equation need to be brought together to effectively close off this common attack vector.
